Muscular System Color by Number, Reading Passage and Text Marking
This Muscular System Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: Smooth muscles, skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles and commonly used muscles.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about the Muscular System, answers questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

Used these for a sub plan and students commented that it was an easy to do task and I liked the layout. I felt confident leaving this for students to complete on their own.

Used this article for sub plans and it worked out well! The anticipation guide helped students start thinking about what they already knew and the questions in the color by number helped with comprehension of the article and finding evidence. Rated 4 stars because the flow of the article wasn’t the best, reading was a little choppy, could have been organized better.
